A urinary tract infection is an infection that begins in your urinary system. Urinary system is composed of the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Though Escherichia Coli, which is normally present in the gastrointestinal tract is the commonest causative organism, other gram negative colonic bacteria. Any part of your urinary system can become infected, but most infections involve the lower urinary tract, the bladder and the urethra. Women are at greater risk of developing a urinary tract infection than are men. A urinary tract infection limited to your bladder can be painful and annoying. However, serious consequences can occur if a urinary tract infection spreads to your kidneys. Antibiotics are the typical treatment for a urinary tract infection like (Norfloxacin, Tetracycline, and Ampicillin etc) .By Antibiotic sensitivity pattern we can measure the Zone of diameter in millimeters. The size of zone of inhibition was interrupted by referring to the CLSI (Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute) guidelines and organism was labeled susceptible, intermediate, or resistance accordingly.
